[Megathread] Daily Deals!

There has been a few threads popping up regarding daily deals found mostly on Newegg or similar US/North America-based e-tailer sites. Instead of having a new thread for each and every daily deal it's better if we locate them all in one major thread. Easy for everyone to see new deals (as they can subscribe to this thread) and it also keeps all discussion in once place.

Rules applies to this thread just as normal of course.

Any serious store/e-tailer in any part of the world is allowed, but try to keep it relevant. Nobody cares if you can find a second-hand HDD on eBay for a very low price sold by some a weird looking "Marest" from Sweden.

Tigerdirect Deals - 560ti and 3TB External

I don't know if this qualifies as 'advertising' per MMOC, but Tigerdirect has some pretty good deals right now for cheap upgrades. Keep in mind they likely have Mail In Rebates, but you can usually get those in a week or so these days with the quick rebate thing.

Zotac 560ti for $115 - Not a huge fan (no pun intended) of the single fan solution, however for that price, it's a dang good card for playing WoW.

WD 3TB External USB2.0 - $105 - USB2.0 is good enough for most people, and for the price it's hard to ignore. I picked up one, and am debating a second.

Don't bother with TigerDirect rebates. The whole system is built around making sure you don't actually get anything.

Well, yeah. I guess if you don't actually send it in, you won't get it. But TigerDirect doesn't do the rebates, so your opinion on it is kind of invalidated in the first place.
4myrebate does the rebate, and they're perfectly reliable. Rebate comes about a week after you mail it in on a card.

Lol? I sent in a $20 rebate to Asus for a sound card I ordered off Tiger Direct (Asus Xonar DX) and I had also used a $30 gift card on. Ended up only paying $45 out of pocket, including shipping and taxes for the card. Used the $20 towards some fancy craft beers.

WoW? That thing will play everything at ultra with a few samples off aa and asf

Play everything in ultra? Sure, if you don't mind occasional dips in framerate and choppy gameplay, people need to stop spreading their terrible "opinions" (because they're not facts) of how hardware can simply run everything maxed or almost maxed out.. ESPECIALLY without mentioning resolution and other hardware like processor.....

Sure, any higher end ( i5 7xx / 965BE )and up processor from the last 3 generations would do the trick at 1080p. It assumed that 1080p was obvious in this case. Either way, I agree about the "opinion" thing, it's just that there's also those who try to pass their terrible opinion off as fact.
The only games that might give that GPU a run for it's money are poorly optimized ones and heavily featured ones, like CODBO2/SeriousSam3

Having an OC'd 560 Ti, I can say that The Witcher 2 is one of the ones that is just so damn impressively graphically intensive, that it makes my computer cry. lol. Luckily I don't play it. Played it for not even an hour after buying it on the Steam summer sale, hated the controls and crappy frame rates I was getting at about medium, and exited. :P

Only other game that the 560 Ti only barely handles at higher settings is Rift, granted Rift uses the Gamebryo engine (poor optimizations), but in some areas I have trouble getting a stable 60 fps, but in others it can be the CPU. Quite intensive, to be fair, for an MMO.

Really? My 5850 ran the witcher 2 pretty damn well without that "This will kill your computer" option turned on
